I Have a Scheme

I am not a violent man. In fact, I’m quite docile. But it’s a low-key Friday night and I’m staying in and watching last night’s episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on the DVR. The opening segment is about Glenn Beck — and it’s got me riled up. I’ve never really wished [...]

There Will Be Blood

bpoilad

There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies to have come out in the last few years. I’ve watched it three times and come away with a different take each time I watch. It’s a complex epic, but the basic premise? An early 20th century oil man will stop at nothing to [...]

POWER BALLS

My brother and his family live in Northwest Arkansas. When they aren’t sending me pictures and videos of my beautiful little nieces, or sending me vegetarian recipes, they are sending pictures of cottonmouth snakes and giants spiders in their backyard or links to tornado warnings that roll through the area all summer long.

Sarah Palin at Work

palin-at-work

It’s been too long since I’ve harassed Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and their conservative nutjob friends. Today is the day I make up for that:

I have nothing against women in politics. Just Palin. I think she knows nothing and couldn’t be more unfit to lead anything, especially the most powerful country in [...]

Worth a Thousand Words

I don’t know the story behind this picture. I don’t really care. The guy is watching Glenn Beck while surrounded by a huge cache of guns all while draped in an American Flag, so it perpetuates all the stereotypes I’m looking for. That’s good enough to make it on this blog.

Or maybe he’s [...]

Moving Into Enemy Territory

Home Sweet Home?

Home Sweet Home?

So, it’s not completely official, but I’m probably moving to Minneapolis in the near future.

I just got a call from The Hittman — he just got an offer accepted on a condo in Minneapolis. And he’s going to be my landlord come March/April once he closes on everything.

I [...]

Stuff For Kids Who Can Read Good

EmployPopJan2010

I always find too many informative political and economic articles to share, so I’ll select a few and throw them all in to one post of important stuff you should read to get your week started:

1. Maybe we shouldn’t be blaming our leaders for not being able to lead:

A thought-provoking read from [...]

The Official Super Bowl Preview

wahl_peyton

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my full weekly NFL preview column on here. But it’s the Super Bowl, so I figure I might as well go out of the football season with one last big push. I have some recap stuff to get to once the season is completely over, and I [...]

Sarah Palin to Join Fox News

A big thanks to Rachel who sent me this report from the Miami Herald:

Sarah Palin, who regularly rips the media, is becoming a television pundit at a place where she’s likely to feel at home.

A Fox News executive says the network will shortly announce that the former vice-presidential nominee is signing on [...]

Minimal IQ

Fox News, solving the unemployment crisis one crazy idea at a time:

That’s exactly what we want! Get the unemployment rate down by lowering minimum wage for workers, thus lowering the standard of living for more Americans — but hey, at least more people would have sh*tty jobs, [...]
